His name is Josh.

Thanks E, I will go get a quote from him once I get the time.

I would be in if anyone wants to meet up/cruise.

Does anyone know of some good roads? Maybe out HWY 10?

Yeah I am up for a cruise, highway 10 seems like it would be a nice place to go. The only other place I can think of is the Pig Trail but it's quite a drive to even get there.

I think it was around $180. Not bad and he did a great job.

We can start the ball rolling on meeting up. What day and time is best for everyone? Probably Saturday or Sunday for most but I can do either. Time should be noonish or early afternoon so if we take a scenic ride we r less likely to see any deer. Maumelle or Cantrell may be the most centrally located but everyone go ahead and post where u are located. As I said I'm in Conway. I'll start a new thread once we get more interest.

Tward 01-10-2012 10:09 PM

Currently attending the university of Arkansas. However, I am down on the weekend every now and again. I would just have to stay informed and make it when I can.

zippin 01-11-2012 06:31 AM

I'm onboard with a meet/ride some time soon. As far as meeting spots, how about the Starbucks on Cantrell and Sam Peck. It's fairly central to everything/everyone and we can head down 10 for a cruise. Let me know as dates and times shape up.

Tward 01-13-2012 10:14 AM

Sounds like a good location to me

ben1620 01-14-2012 11:58 PM

Im in for coffee

ben1620 01-15-2012 09:30 AM

Hey guys I'm need to find a home for these puppies. Ive had some interest on k9stud.com, and even sold one for $800 to a great family in west Virginia, but I would rather GIVE THEM AWAY locally to good homes. Peace of mind is worth more than money. I've owned pitbulls for 12yrs and have travelled the country attending dog shows, and I can honestly say this is one of the best litters I have ever seen. I don't agree with the type of people who attend dog shows and breed for profit or i would market the puppies to them for $1500. Please contact me if you know of anyone interested. Follow the link in my signature. Thanks

Dude, I really want one (I live in Cabot).... I looked at the pictures you have. Mind sending me some more pictures of what you have left so I can try and convince the wife?

Looking for AR Zs
 
My name is Sean and I live in Little Rock and I've just been trying my best to link up with some other Z owners. I only work every third day so I'm always pretty available for a little meet, greet, and hit the street. Anybody feel free to give me some info on when you guys meet up.

Welcome Sean! Unfortunately we have not proven to be very good at meeting up in the past. Hopefully we will change that with some of the new folks joining the forum. I know there has been talk about getting together for a cruise or something.

Best bet is to keep watch on this forum for any info. I will keep an eye out for you when I am running around town, there are not that many 370's that I have seen in the area. Mine is in the garage most of the time and only comes out on nice days.

Will do when I get is all cleaned up after all my part installs are done. Had the car for 1 month and already ordered TS Pro 1, Y pipe, resonated test pipes, Stillen G3's, NST Pulleys, and a pile of LEDs to replace all the goofy yellow-ish lights. And I ain't even got my income tax return yet! Let the modding begin! :happydance:

EZGOING 02-17-2012 11:46 AM

If you have speakers they should be working! Take it back! I've had problems with some dealerships on fixing things! My highflo cats are still leaking!
I would live to see Hwy 10 before I move to Dallas but as you see my z name is ezgoing for a reason! You guys would leave me in the dust! Lol y'all have fun!

Hey Errett, I saw your Nismo this morning on 430 S after dropping mine off at North Point. Looks awesome! The red fender stripes look great in person...

:tiphat:

My AC died last week. Not fun in this 95+ degree heat. I'm already going through withdrawals from not having my car.

:driving:

Thanks Mark! I have not seen your car yet, but one of the guys that works with me has seen it several times. He mentions "the red NISMO" to me every time he sees you on the road.

Good luck with the A/C.

jikhead 06-10-2012 07:17 PM

Just checking in...wanted to see if the black Z I see every morning on Cantrell on my way to work is on here.

ben1620 06-29-2012 08:04 AM

Sup guys. There is an autocross event this Sunday at war memorial. I'll be there at 8am to check it out. Bring a helmet if u got one. I don't plan on competing but may try to hitch a ride with someone just out having fun. And someone please bring some shade to sit under. Haha

Any one have any suggestions on vinyl installer?

Motor Sports Authority in Conway can do it but after talking to them, I'm gonna have mine painted. They quoted me $150 to paint(smoke) and clearcoat my taillights. I'll definitely let MSA do it and trade them on here if I ever want to go back to stock. They also quoted a great price on modding/painting my headlights and theyve done it on some their personal vehicles that look great. I also got my windows tinted so dark for $190 with the brow.

And for every $200 u spend u get a ticket for a drawing to win a trip to SEMA 2012 in Vegas. Includes airfare, accommodations, and SEMA pass.

Ask for Bryan. He's the owner and he loves cars.

jikhead 06-30-2012 11:41 AM

Does anyone know if the Cars & Coffee is still going on at the Starbucks?

The wife and I stopped by for an hour or so just to watch on Sunday. It was awesome! Looks like so much fun. I really want to try it soon.

Who had the silver/gray 370Z Nismo? That thing was hauling major *** and looked amazing. Very impressive.

We will definitely attend the 8/4 event. Hope to see some of you guys there.

:tup:

ben1620 07-03-2012 09:01 AM

That's awesome! I was out of town and got held up for an extra day so I missed it. I'll cya next time for sure.

Tward 10-06-2012 04:56 PM

Has anyone gotten a tune. If so where did you go and how was the service?

ben1620 10-06-2012 10:01 PM

I've asked around and was told to go to Dallas and don't waste time trying Memphis. I got my tuner cable from seymore here on the forum and he gave me a tune from a Z with similar mods. I definitely noticed a improved power, response, and mpg but haven't been on a dyno to check numbers. It was well worth the $550 and highly recommend it.

On a side note my favorite mod hands down has been the 25 row oil cooler. Easy install and I can push my car as hard as I want and never go above 200*. FBNISSAN has the best price on every purchase I've looked into(except uprev).

Tward 10-08-2012 12:29 PM

Thanks for the comment. Is the only benefit of getting a tune done at a shop the dyno? If the cable and tune uprev sells for 500 will give me the same benefits as a tune done in shop in Dallas, then i would much rather save the trip and just buy the cable.

ben1620 10-08-2012 01:26 PM

With a dyno, a good tuner can get u max gains bc every car is a little different. Having a base tune will make it easier for the tuner and should save some time/money spent on the dyno. "seymore4"(joe) will sell u a tuner version with cable for $550 shipped instead of $700msrp and give u a base tune like uprev would do. Tuner version can be resold or put on another vehicle whereas the $500msrp version cant. Base tune won't be max performance but will be getting close and it wont hurt your car. There is a possibility that driving too long without a tune, with too many mods, can do some damage. Joe is very knowledgable and is active here and on the g37&Titan forums so there amanse wrap posts where he is explaining how uprev works. His $550 cable is new, legit and very easy to use; he owns a shop and sells them at cost just bc he thinks ecu access shouldn't be such a ripoff. I don't think u actually get a cable with the 500msrp version but I can hook the car up to my laptop and monitor/record/change just about any data, sensors, or settings that u can think. One thing i did recently was tell m car to turn on the radiator fan at lower temps. Installing the tune is as easy as opening a word document

Tward 10-08-2012 01:34 PM

So maybe buy the base tune from seymore4, then later on dyno to get the max hp and tq out of my car?
I am definitely a rookie when it comes to tuning, no experience what so ever. So i doubt i would change anything in the uprev program, that way i dont blow anything up.

ben1620 10-08-2012 03:04 PM

Technically, with the tuner version, youre buying an uprev license & the cable that transfers the license to yor car's ECU. Then u can load the 5 tunes from joe or a tuner can start from scratch. He gave me the tunes from a Z with similar mods that had been worked on with the dyno. If u want to sell the cable&license or put it in a different car, u flash the license back to the cable and it is good to go but your first car will every to stock ECU. U can buy additional licenses for use with the same cable for multiple cars.

I plan on getting on a dyno locally to check my output without making any adjustments. Although having my setup from joe may make it easier for a local tuner to make adjustments even thought he isn't familiar with the 370. I really don't want to put the miles/wear on my car driving to Dallas and back unless it's absolutely necessary.

Tward 10-10-2012 07:44 PM

Thanks for the information. I just got my test pipes, so once i get those installed and wait a few weeks for a couple more pay checks, i will get the tuner version.
Yeah i am the same way with the drive to dallas, i dont want to make the drive if i dont have too.

By the way, where r u at in Arkansas?

A group of us are taking a cruise up Hwy 7 to Harrison this Sunday the 28th. We'll be leaving Conway at 1:30pm and Russellville at 2:15pm. Click here for details. http://www.the370z.com/southern-regi...rrison-ar.html
